- Description
- Wolala is a man's name. There are few if any words in the lyric. This was sung by a group of young people, the girls and boys rather younger than the first group and not so gaily dressed. The girls clap their hands and stamp one foot alternately swinging rhythmically forward and backward. Mtshotsho dance for young men and women with clapping.
